Fortnite fans who are looking forward to Fortnite Mobile on Android devices will want to get hands on a Galaxy Note 9 when it launches. Rumors have speculated that the game could be an exclusive for at least 30 days to that specific device. A new rumor is making the rounds that Epic Games and Samsung have tied up to offer those who pre-order Fortnite Mobile some in-game currency.

Specifically, the pre-order folks will get 15,000 V-Bucks in Fortnite Mobile reports DualShockers. That in-game money can be spent on all sorts of updates like skins and outfits in the game. The rumor stems from data mining of Epic Games’ entitlement API and no official announcements have been made.

Fortnite Mobile for Android will be a literal game changer for Android devices and Google. The game is reportedly bypassing the Google Play store and Epic Games will sell the game directly to players. This cuts Google out of the profit loop on the game.

The Note 9 is expected to be announced soon so all the details should be official in the coming weeks. Some rumors have suggested the Note 9 might be a hard sell for Samsung with a design not much different from the Note 8.
